If you’ve ever gone looking for a First Communion or Confirmation gift, a card congratulating a new deacon or priest on his ordination, or maybe Church supplies like lector guides, altar candles, or vestments - you’ve likely entered St. Patrick’s Guild on Randolph Avenue in Saint Paul. They’ve been providing all sorts of Catholic goods for 75 years, and now, they're celebrating and want to share the joy.

Tim Doran, who runs the shop with his family, joined host Patrick Conley to talk about the beginnings of the shop and what is to come.

“Being in the world but not of it”. As a Practicing Catholic, you’ve likely heard this phrase before. And it’s a lot easier said than done – especially with the amount of technological advances in our modern world. Joining producer Kayla Mayer to help us unpack what this means for modern Catholics and how we can better live this out, is Auxiliary Bishop Michael Izen, back for a monthly bishops' segment.
